Don't forget that he just straight-up invented his own shoes because none of the others would fit him.
He is really one of the most interesting men in the peloton.

Combine quirky with likeable and then rides like the one in the Giro and Hansen has himself a fan! |

Hansen's other job: creating a management program for pro teams
LeTour.fr spoke with one of the riders who is in the escape today before the Tour and asked about his life away from cycling. Adam Hansen came to road racing via mountain biking but he is also a computer programmer. He developed an online management system that he's sold to his Lotto-Belisol team.
“It's an online database where the logistics lady puts in all the races and adds the riders programs as they're devised. There's also fields for all the other staff: the soigneurs, mechanics, directeurs sportif… so, when we get our programs, we don't get just a basic email as happened in the past, we can log on and see the full calendar," explained Hansen.
"We know what our races are, who will be there with us, what hotels we'll have, and it also includes our ‘Whereabouts Program'. It's like a central meeting point, really. There are also message options so if there is any need for communication between the relevant staff, it can be done in one location. All the information is there, including all the smaller details like if phone numbers change and that sort of thing. It's also got the contact details of everyone on our team.
“The riders have to do a report on how they feel in a race: what they expected, their feelings on tactics and all sorts of information. The sports directors see that and they can make their report on the riders. And that all gets reviewed at the end of every month.”
More from Hansen: interesting language skills...
When LeTour.fr spoke with Adam Hansen about his interests aside from cycling we asked: how many languages do you speak? His answer was far from the standard one...
“Computer programming languages, I speak five: PHP, MySQL, ASP, VB, Java – actually, and Javascript as well, if you want to include that. And, I've forgotten one that I used to know.
“Normal languages… uhm, some would say I don't speak English very well, so I accept that: my English is not very good. And as for other languages, I have a good understanding of some but I wouldn't say I speak any fluently.”
He'll be one of my fav riders from now on.
He propably programmed Skyborgs. |

22 seconds, if they have 30-40 when they reach the bottom it's possible. |

30-40 seconds? When the strongest guys in the break goes insane, that gap is quickly closed. |

Costa's solo as expected.
Question is if he can stay away on the descent. It's a lot of time. He should wait for Coppel's help, Coppel can't sprint for toffee.
